Skiing and School

From December 29 - January 17, Stephen and Adrienne are teaching at an English winter camp at the school they've been staying at for the past month. In Korea, students have two months of vacation from school every year, one month in the winter and one month in the summer. During this time, many Korean students attend private specialty schools such as the one where we teach, called hagwons. The picture above is from the opening day assembly.

Two students from the highest-level class. Stephen teaches them writing and speaking, and Adrienne teaches them reading.

No school is complete without a morose, Eeyore type.

Stephen lent his camera to a student who expressed interest in photography and she snapped this pic.

We had a great time skiing - while Adrienne skied with control and ease, Stephen opted for out-of-control snowboarding. Only one innocent bystander was eliminated by his wrecklessness. By the time Adrienne caught up, Stephen, ice in his beard, a 10-foot board-skid behind him, was one member of a dazed pile including himself and another boy.
